Knowing God—A Study in 2nd Corinthians

Moving Beyond Knowledge into Experience—

Igniting the Tinder of Truth by the Fire of the Spirit

This conference was presented in Northern Virginia February 28–March 2, 2014.

 

“For it is the God who commanded light to shine out of darkness,
who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge
of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” 2Co 4:6

 

Second Corinthians is much more than just a defense and vindication of Paul’s ministry. It expounds the foundation of his life and service in the experiential knowledge of God in all His varied manifestations to Paul. In other words, Paul was who he was, and did what he did, because he continued to grow in his knowledge of God. This knowledge was not merely intellectual or academic. Rather it was essentially experiential, as Paul came to know the living Christ in his daily life.

Cross to the Crown #6

The five mountain peaks of the life of faith. Mt. Mariah - Abraham sacrifice; Mt. Sianai (Exo 19:17-21) law and judgment; Mt. Zion (2Ki 18:1) David's throne -- rulership; Mt. Carmel truth vs. error -- victory; Mt. Olivet (Luk 22:29, 40, Joh 8:1) suffering; Mt. transfiguration (Luk 9:28-31) resurrection and glory. 5 Hebrew words for faith: (1) Amen - to lean on for support; (2) Batach - wrestling term - body slam to the mat; (3) Casah - rabbit chased by fox into a cleft in the rock; (4) Yachal - dressing for wound; (5) Qawah - weave an unbreakable rope from small vines or threads.

Scripture References: Luke 9:28-31, John 8:1, Luke 22:29-40, Exodus 19:17-21

From Series: "The Cross to the Crown"

To get from 'the cross to the crown' we need to make decisions to live a life of spiritual dynamics using God's provisions -- His Word and Spirit. This series given in early 2006 before Gene moved back to the States outlines ten aspects of our discipleship.
